I am fairly new to brewing, actually really new. My first batch is still fermenting. I kept telling myself I would take it slow, but this week of waiting is killing me! So I am trying to figure out one of my next brews, and am planning on sticking with extract for now.
My question is, I want to make something like Buffalo Sweat for my father-in-law and wife. They both like it alot. I found a cream stout kit, but want to add roasted barley to add a coffee flavor. I want to know how much to add. Does 8 oz. sound good? I chatted with a guy at Midwest and he suggested 4 oz barley and adding cold pressed coffee. The thing is I want the coffee flavor but I don't want it over powering. I am thinking the 8 oz of roasted barley will do this, or is just 4 oz with no coffee enough?
